4800XPC Shovel
The P&H 4800XPC, our largest electric mining shovel, features a 135sT payload designed to three-pass load 400sT ultra-class haul trucks.
- Built upon the proven foundation of the P&H 4100XPC AC
- Includes the new Adaptive Controls technology suite (patents pending)
- Design changes optimize the machine structures, enable the larger payload, and improve overall shovel loading efficiency.
- Provides up to a 20% increase in production along with a decrease in cost per ton of up to 10% (when compared to the 4100XPC AC).
- Key structural enhancements include:
- Dipper, with improved bank penetration and higher payload-to-weight ratio
- Bail and equalizer, providing the proper combination of digging height, cutting force, dumping height, and rope life
- Direct drive crowd with integral fleeting sheave, helping eliminate boom jacking
- Modular counterweight and boarding stairs, enhancing safety and access
- Enhanced ring gear, with improved fatigue resistance and accommodating increased payload
- Optimized boom design with stabilized handle geometry, improving dipper maneuverability
- Adaptive controls technology optimizes shovel power usage and include the following:
- Smart/dynamic crowd, limiting rearward tipping moment during impact, improving bank penetration in hard toe, and reducing boom jacking
- Opti toe, increasing bail pull based on position relative to the bank and limiting forward overturning moment while digging
- Dynamic hoist, limiting effects of hoist inertia during impact, measured impact loading up to 200%+ of stall torque, and limiting extreme burst of forward tipping movement
- Dynamic swing, reducing loads from swinging in the bank, using dynamic motor response to marginalize impacts with ground objects, and protecting the machine from loading on racks, handles, saddle blocks, shipper shaft, and boom.
- Extended reach, improving truck spotting range and allowing for increased shovel each when unloading
